Another lazy ass 4 min stretch... guys for crying out loud, stop getting complacent and just playing dumb for small stretches.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I am so sick of hearing the announcers hope Kansas gets back into this. Every time KU gets inside 10 they cheer up.


They don't care who wins. They want a close game.

That off the ball foul from EJ when Jared hit the 3 kept us from putting it away

I think you're hearing what you want to hear. I keep hearing them say it feels like Baylor is in complete control and it doesn't feel like Kansas is in the game, but here they are hanging around.

We need to put them away now. I don't want to have to win the game at the free throw line.

Oh yes they do care. I have lived long enough to notice how ESPN gets happy when blue bloods win.

ESPN gives lip service to teams like Baylor, but hopes they can point to a loss and say 'sorry not that good'.

But I'm this instance, they are perking up when the score gets closer. If Baylor were up by 20, they would have to vamp and fill.

We would have blown the game wide open if the refs didn't work so hard to keep KU in it

Ok... so Vital gets pushed to the ground and is called for a foul and then appeared to just be standing there and called again?

Did you notice after the 3 they whined about how mean the refs were to McCormick?

Vital has had 3 fouls called in less than a min... I just don't see how any of them were fouls in the least, especially how they've called the game as a whole.
